Hi Neighbors! Japanese food is very attentive to the details of the taste of each ingredient. Starting from the type of material, the shape of the cut, to the way of presentation. In addition to these things, traditional Japanese cooking utensils also affect the taste. Let's discuss unique Japanese cooking tools.
Oroshigane
Oroshigane, is a grater used in Japanese cuisine.
Oroshigane differs significantly from a Western-style grater, in that it produces a much finer grater. Traditionally, this grater is a tin plated copper plate with many small nails gouged out of the metal. This grater is still considered the best and is used by professional chefs.
Oroshiki
To prepare wasabi and yamaimo, use a grater with a surface made of shark skin. It has a smoother grating surface than metallic ones and is more like sandpaper.
Suribachi & Surikogi
Suribachi and Surikogi are Japanese mortar and pestle. This mortar is used in Japanese cooking to crush various ingredients such as sesame seeds. Suribachi's surface has a ribbed texture that makes it easy for the user to smooth the material.
Makisu
In Japanese cuisine, a makisu is a small mat woven from bamboo and cotton rope used in food preparation. Makisu is most often used to make a type of sushi roll called makizushi. Makisu is also used to form other soft foods such as omelets, and to squeeze excess liquid out of foods.
Makiyakinabe
Makiyakinabe is a square or rectangular cooking pot used to make Japanese-style omelet rolls (tamagoyaki). Pans are generally made of metals such as copper and tin, and can also be coated with a non-stick surface. The dimensions and proportions of the pans vary between regions of Japan, but are always rectangular in shape.
